The Import Module converts output data from an Electronic CAD system to a Macaos Enterprise product. In most cases, you will be importing a set of Gerber and Drill files. Each of these files must be linked to the correct layer of the PCB. It is also necessary to specify the desired stackup for the product, and perhaps some other properties as well.
The Import Module also supports importing ODB++ data. In an ODB++ dataset, the graphic data is already linked to specific layers. This layer linking should be checked (and corrected, if necessary) before specifying product properties.
You can also add fiducial marks and other symbols to the product prior to publishing. There are also tools for inspecting and measuring features of the product.
Once a product has been completely specified, you must save the product so that it will be available for panelization, creating a solder paste stencil or in-circuit test fixture, working with assembly data, etc.
